ClaimID Vs. Del.Icio.Us
Posted by John Jones on 20 Dec 2007 at 10:03 pm | Tagged as: Social Networking
Almost everyone in any Website related industry knows that Del.Icio.Us is a Social Bookmark service offered to everyone at no charge. They even have a handy toolbar that you can attach to your browser.
However what the system lacks is a little customization, color and verification! ClaimID is nice in that you can always verify your websites, blog posts and other contributions to the web. This is done with a simple addition of a meta tag to the page that has your original content is found on. They then send out their spider to check the URL for the meta tag and upon verifying that it does exist a little ‘Verified’ text is added to that link on your profile.
Because this blog is geared around Internet Marketing I will tell you that your profile page will most likely be crawled pretty quickly by search engine spiders, it does pass link juice and for what it’s worth my profile page went from a PR NOWHERE to a PR 4.
Lastly, when talking on the phone with clients, it is sure easier to tell them to go to ClaimID/search/ then it is to explain that Del.Icio.Us doesn’t have www before Del!

I agree that claimID is a very slick little interface. I do like there verification system also.
Glad to hear you got to keep your /search page.
I think /Pepsi is still up for grabs.
i love talking to those customers that still think the search engine “search bar” is their web browsers address bar! Tons of fun! o_O
Happy New Year!
